Kiva and Micro-philanthropy

Some time back, I was listening to NPR in the car, like I always do, and a really great story came on where they were discussing the end of digital rights management, micro-philanthropy and the giving trend of the tech-savvy, and the new Windows 7 Beta.  Jam packed radio goodness.

Self Inventory #16 – How Much Will I Gain

Wow, this is a tough one. I don’t really have anything going on right now to profit from. I am starting to take on some freelance work, but nothing serious until the fall probably. Hmm, well I guess I will ask what is coming that would be financially beneficial to me.
